Photogrammetry Mapping

Using our state of the art drones and GPS Aeropoints we capture high resolution visual data to create millimetre accurate models of terrain and buildings for mapping and measurement analysis

DJI Matrice 210

With a flight time of up to 22 minutes the Matrice 210 is a very versatile stable platform hosting a range of cameras to suite the job at hand

The X5 camera for capturing 5.2K ProRes video and 20.6 Megapixel High Resolution still images. The X2 FLIR thermal Camera for capturing subtle differences in temperature to reveal when equipment or buildings are damaged. The Z30 Zoom enables us to get a detailed look at structures, wires and wind turbines from a safe distance to detect damage.

With a flight time of up to 30 minutes, this aircraft is equipped with a 20-megapixel camera with a 1" sensor for filming up to 4K with a fixed 24mm lens and mechanical shutter perfect for photogrammetry and surveying.

The beauty of this aircraft is its size, weight and flight time. It's also a very safe drone with full anticollision sensors all around, especially useful when flying indoors. We use this aircraft primarily for mapping and photogrammetry due to the quality and accuracy of the camera.
